The GOP’s growing stockpile of cash

CNN published a poll last week that claimed 59% of self-identified Republicans say “believing that Donald Trump won the 2020 election” is important to what being a Republican means to them.   Friend, The Republican National Committee (RNC) reported having $79 million in the bank at the…

it’s critical that Mark’s campaign and ours build the resources to hold the Senate against the flood of right-wing dark money   Did you see Senator Mark Kelly’s urgent message? With just 8 days until the FEC deadline, it’s critical that Mark’s campaign and ours build the resources to h…

re: FEC deadline

  Friends, In just a moment, I am going to ask you to split a contribution between my campaign for the U.S. Senate and that of my good friend Senator Cory Booker. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today — is so important. Here is the truth: When I launc…

A quick note

  Friend — I wanted to send you a quick note this Monday morning to kick start the week. In 10 days, my team and I will report all of our fundraising numbers for the quarter to the FEC. This deadline is essentially the starting gun for the midterm elections so it’s crucial we have a s…

Hope

  We can’t lose hope, friend. We will repair the damage and destruction caused by Hurricane Ida in New Jersey and we will come back even stronger. My team and I spent the first two weeks of the month helping people hit hardest by the storm find the necessary resources and support to r…

We have no regrets

  Friend, Cory and our team didn't do any grassroots fundraising at all during the first two weeks of the month. Instead, we focused on helping our neighbors and communities in New Jersey recover from the damage left behind by Hurricane Ida. And we don't regret it — not for one second…

We’re hours away

  I promise to keep this short, friend. At midnight tonight, we’ll reach my last mid-month fundraising deadline for the FEC quarter. It’s critical that we hit our fundraising goal to make sure we’re on track for our even larger end-of-quarter deadline on September 30th. If you can aff…

More election lies from Donald Trump

  Friend, Yesterday in California, voters turned out in droves to reject another cynical GOP power grab in the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom. A strong defeat of the recall effort is yet another statement from the American people who are voting for climate action, racial justice, …

The GOP recall

  Friend, There’s just 1 day left before California voters’ final opportunity to vote no and reject the Republican-led recall against Governor Gavin Newsom. While millions of voters have already mailed in their ballots, it’s critical that we help Gavin’s campaign get out as many remai…

Helping New Jersey

  Hey friend, For the past week, I’ve been surveying the damage the remnants of Hurricane Ida brought across New Jersey. My heart breaks for the families of the 27 New Jerseyans who lost their lives in this deadly storm. First and foremost, I hope you and your loved ones are safe, hea…

Protecting our Democratic Senate majority

A disgraceful history

  Friend, It’s disappointing, but it’s hardly shocking: The Washington Post just reported that the U.S. Postal Service signed a $120 million, five-year contract with XPO Logistics, the former company of Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy. DeJoy claims he wasn’t…

I’m asking

What Mitch McConnell isn’t counting on

  Friend, Senate Republicans are raising boatloads of money ahead of the midterms. That’s no surprise. With more than $58 million raised just this year, they’re already running attack ads against Cory’s Senate colleagues. And if they manage to pick up just one more seat, Mitch McConne…
